和語 (hiragana わご, romaji wago)
- Parola di origine giapponese.
IPA: /ɰᵝaːŋɔ̯/, /ɰᵝaː ɡo/
Derivante dall'unione di 和 (wa, giapponese) e 語 (go, parola). Originariamente il composto era 倭語, ma venne modificato il carattere usato 倭 in 和 perché il primo era derogatorio in significato etimologico.
Wa-go si intende parole di origine nativa giapponese, e si possono scrivere sia in kanzi e kana, sono letti in kun’yomi (訓読み lettura secondo il significato), al contrario dei kango ,漢語, ossia "Parola Cinese", cioè parole di origine sino-tibetana o cinese.
